I found some support groups online, but nothing that I really wanted to take part in. This stuff is really hard to deal with mentally. I heard other peoples' stories which were very similar to mine. It's hard for me to believe that it happened to me, so it's even harder to believe others you know. If you open yourself up and share your story you risk ridicule and defamation, so I rarely even speak of it.
And you don't know if other people are wanting you to open up to them just for sh*ts and giggles, writing you off as a nutjob. Or if they are making their story up for attention, or are just plain lying. I think that with the history of the subject and the vilification from the media, anyone speaking out publicly would most likely be discredited and made out to be a mad man.
My own family didn't believe me or my wife, so I shouldn't expect complete strangers to.
